Thanks Ian, I don't have the list. I looked into

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Fjeremy%2Fxen.git&a=search&h=xen%2Fstable-2.6.32.x&st=commit&s=shared

I see couple of fixes that were committed for shared interrupts + passthrough. I am not sure however it is confined to those commits. If I can get a list of commits to fix shared interrupts I can take a look at patching those into xcp source.

Thanks

Backporting is usually pretty easy but it does somewhat depend on the
scope of the changesets you are backporting, do you have a list?

Please try and pickup complete upstream commits and include them in the
relevant place within the 2.6.27 patch queue (either the "Patches from
Linux Torvalds linux-2.6.git tree" or "Patches from xen.git" section I
guess) and sort plus name the patches as described in the section
headers.

Ian.
